The Giants appear to be serious contenders in the Bryce Harper sweepstakes.

San Francisco met with the free-agent outfielder Tuesday, according to The Mercury News, citing unidentified sources. This marks the second meeting between Harper and the Giants.

According to the report, Giants CEO Larry Baer and president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi visited Harper and agent Scott Boras in Las Vegas.

Harper and the Giants met at the beginning of February to discuss negotiations and terms. Harper reportedly wants a long-term deal worth at least $300 million, although reports have surfaced that he's turned down mega contracts from the Nationals and Phillies.

The news of a meeting with the Giants comes after their rival, the Dodgers, re-emerged as a team in pursuit of Harper. Along with Los Angeles and San Francisco, the Padres, White Sox, Phillies and Harper's original team, the Nationals, have all been named as suitors trying to land him.

Originally, it was rumored that the Giants were offering just short-term deals. It's unclear if that has changed from Tuesday's meeting.
